Re: Filter By Form Button (2000)

Access disables all controls except the data-bound ones when it displays filter-by-form. The user will have to click the Apply Filter button on the toolbar. You have no control over what happens as long as filter-by-form is open.

The alternative would be to design your own filter-by-form, but that is a LOT of work, and very hard to get to work correctly in all circumstances.
